Pedestals and various other arrangements throughout the house, made up of neutral creams and greens mean that you do not need to spend a fortune on wedding flowers.

Corporate Responsibility
People often assume that old buildings are very environmentally unfriendly but that really doesn’t have to be the case. We have been working with environmental consultants and the Carbon Trust and have been able to make many small but significant changes to our venues- heating the houses with efficient boilers, thermostats on hot water tanks, heaters and lights on time clocks, energy efficient light bulbs, pipe and loft insulation and of course we recycle all glass, cans, paper and plastic. These are things our Bride and Grooms would never notice but they make a big difference to our carbon output.

Food and Beverage- Bar Facilities
Gosfield Hall has a beautiful bar with stunning views across to Gosfield Lake. During the day, you and your guests can enjoy Pimms, Champagne and cocktails in the Library or outside on the lawns on sunny days and in the evening, the fully stocked bar has a selection of beers, spirits, wines and Champagnes ensuring there is something for everyone. We can even order in special beverages just for your day to ensure your special day is exactly as you dreamt.

Food and Beverage- Delectable Welcome Drinks
From Mojitos on the lawn to our sumptuous house wine with personalised Gosfield Hall labels, we can source any drinks you would like for your Wedding day.

Food and Beverage- Ethical Food Sourcing
We strive to support local businesses that produce quality ingredients, which in turn ensures that our catering continues to exceed our guests’ expectations. All our vegetables are grown locally and our cheese selection includes some of the finest local cheeses. We also ensure that wherever possible we only purchase Fish from sustainable Fisheries which follow strictly eco-friendly practices and Fish are never sourced from controversial origins.

Food and Beverage- Fairtrade Produce
All our tea and coffee products carry the Fairtrade label ensuring that disadvantaged producers in developing countries are getting a better deal. We also offer an excellent selection of wines to compliment your menu, including a Fairtrade and Organic selection.

Food and Beverage- Fantastic Food
Our fabulous Head Chef and his team will work with you and your Front of House Manager to create your perfect menu for your special day- from dipped strawberries to canapes and the wedding breakfast to your wedding cake- we pride ourselves on offering first class food.

Food and Beverage- Free Range Produce
We are responsible and ethical when purchasing products. Our chefs aim to use only free range Chicken, Turkey, pork and eggs. Our Gressingham Ducks come from Maple Tree Farm in Suffolk and our beef and Lamb are British. We ensure that wherever possible we only purchase Fish from sustainable Fisheries which follow strictly eco-friendly practices and do not source their Fish from controversial origins.
